Repeated failures, upgrading feisty->gutsy

[Tessa Lau (tlau)]

I just saw this problem when upgrading feisty to gutsy. My problem occurred because cfsd was not running at the time the postinst script ran, so it hung while trying to stat64("/var/cfs"). After starting cfsd (/etc/init.d/cfsd start), the upgrade proceeded normally and ran to completion.

The cfs installation scripts should check to make sure cfsd is running.

Looking at your terminal log cfs failed to install with the following error:

Setting up cfs (1.4.1-18) ...
Starting Cryptographic File System daemon: /usr/sbin/cfsd already running.
invoke-rc.d: initscript cfsd, action "start" failed.
